No progress is possible. Trying to make a deal with the ideologues in the White Hut and on the Senate floor is like trying to get a permnent truce or even a cease-fire lasting more than a few days with Hamas. That only lasts long enough to obtain more ammunition, then they are in there firing away again.

OK, over the cliff it is. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid don’t have much room to negotiate, and the other side seems adamant.

Even if you can’t swim, there is one brief, shining moment of glory.
